In 2019, Ramadan, a time when Islamic extremists believe Allah doubly rewards martyrdom and jihad, began at sunset on May 5 and is expected to last through sundown on June 4.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Islamic terrorists, mainly the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), carried out more than 30 attacks in over ten countries during the first week of the ongoing holy month of Ramadan, killing at least 166 people and injuring 155 others.

Why do Islamic terror attacks increase so dramatically during the ‘holy’ month of Ramadan in Islam? Because Islam teaches that during that time, their moon god Allah will ‘reward them double’ for acts of martyrdom where they kill themselves and innocent people around them. Allah is angry all the time, it would seem, and the only thing that serves to pacify him to any degree is when his followers murder the ‘infidels’ who don’t believe in him. Ironically, most of the people killed in Islamic terror attacks during Ramadan are Muslims. Go figure.

“And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.” Genesis 16:12 (KJV)

The father of the Muslims, Ishmael, is someone that scripture says is a ‘wild man’ whose hand is against everyone, and that is certainly true when we look at modern-day Islam and Islamic terrorism. The bible further goes on to say, in multiple places like Zechariah 14 and Galatians 4, that the Muslims are cast out of Israel when the King of Kings returns to fight the Battle of Armageddon at the Second Coming.

Ramadan Rage 2019: Jihadis Kill 165, Wound 145 In First Week

FROM BREITBART NEWS: That means, so far, jihadis have killed an average of 24 people and injured 22 others each day during the first week of the holy month. In 2019, Ramadan, a time when Islamic extremists believe Allah doubly rewards martyrdom and jihad, began at sunset on May 5 and is expected to last through sundown on June 4.

Breitbart News’ count excludes attacks that took place on May 5. This week, the Ramadan death toll covers 33 incidents that took place in ten countries between May 6 and 12: Afghanistan, Benin, Burkina Faso, Iraq, Pakistan, Kenya, Somalia, Libya, Mali, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Syria.

During the first week of the holiest month for Muslims, Breitbart News determined that Afghanistan (61 deaths, 44 injuries) and Iraq (29 deaths, 27 injuries) were the deadliest countries. Afghanistan alone accounts for more than 35 percent of all deaths and about 30 percent of all injuries.

Despite the complete fall of the so-called ISIS caliphate in March, U.S. military and intelligence officials believe the group remains a significant threat in its home base of Iraq and Syria and beyond. So far, ISIS is the most prolific jihadi group during Ramadan, responsible for 13 attacks that left 47 people dead and 42 others injured. All but one (Nigeria) of the incidents took place in Iraq and Syria.

Jihadist groups urge their followers and supporters to intensify their efforts to castigate infidels during the holy month, arguing that Allah exceptionally rewards martyrdom on Ramadan.

In the days leading up to Ramadan, ISIS’ elusive leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, resurfaced in his first video in five years, urging Muslims to carry out more attacks as he pledged to take revenge on those who demolished the group’s so-called caliphate that once spawned across swathes of Iraq and Syria.

“Our battle today is one of attrition and stretching the enemy. They should know that jihad is ongoing until the day of judgment,” Baghdadi declared, adding, “Truthfully, the battle of Islam and its people against the cross [Christians] and its people is a long battle.”

The religion of Islam has as its focus of worship a deity by the name of "Allah."

In rejecting a Ramadan truce offer by the Afghan government early this month, Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the Taliban, similarly proclaimed, “As jihad is … the best part of worship, doing it on Ramadan is rewarded more than in other months.”

The vast majority of victims during Ramadan are Muslims.

Breitbart News primarily gleans its data for its Ramadan death tally from the Religion of Peace website, but it also relies on media and government reports. News outlets and officials may update some of the fatality figures as some of the injured victims succumb to their injuries, triggering a change in the count after Breitbart News publishes this report.

Most Muslims follow the peaceful Ramadan tradition of abstaining from eating, drinking, smoking, having sex, and other physical needs each day, starting from before the break of dawn until sunset. However, the number of attacks at the hands of jihadis tends to escalate during the month when compared to other times during the year.

Breitbart News has documented the following attacks during Ramadan:

May 6 — North Waziristan, Pakistan — Suspected Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) jihadis kill four security forces, injure ten others.

Former Prisoner Phillip Smith Got Saved In Jail Through The Gospel Truth Jail Ministry On A King James Bible Provided Through Bibles Behind Bars

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

He Was Broken, Hopeless And Behind Bars, Until A King James Bible From Bibles Behind Bars Showed Him The Saving Grace Of Jesus Christ And The Lord Changed His Life Forever

The Gospel Truth Jail Ministry in north Georgia is a collective of 10 different Baptist churches we supply Bibles to who all labour together in the half-dozen jails and prisons that populate the area, minstering to the thousands of inmates who are behind bars for a variety of reasons. I want to introduce you to a recently released prisoner by the name of Phillip Smith who has an amazing testimony of new life in Jesus Christ after sitting under faithful preaching and being given one of our King James Bibles.

“Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.” 2 Timothy 2:9 (KJB)

Phillip recently wrote a letter of his testimony which was given to us, and this will warm your heart like little else will. Phillip writes: “Found myself in a mess and behind bars Aug 6, 2025. For 2 weeks I struggled being away from my friends and family. Thinking of the disappointment I’m sure they all felt in me, I contemplated ways to end my troubles. Lost everything I had worked my whole life praying for just to lose it all over a bad habit. I felt no desire to start all over, I thank God for Pastor Shane coming each Thursday night and preaching hope into my heart. Aug 15, 2025 I turned my life over to the Lord and spent the next 2 1/2 months with my eyes and hands full of this bible. I successfully read it from cover to cover. I’m currently working on my second time through. After getting out of jail at the end of Oct. Brother Shane baptized me on Nov 2, 2025, in Holly Creek. If you’re in Holly Creek Nov 2 you better love Jesus, cause its cold. I’ve been attending Anchor Holds Baptist Church since my release, never had a church make me feel so welcome. Love my sermons with Brother David. Love my whole church family and I love my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” There it is, another soul finding a seat on Flight #777, praise the Lord!

Christian, Bibles Behind Bars is the link in the supply chain for groups like the Gospel Truth Jail Ministry who desperately need ministries like us to keep them supplied with King James Bibles. The man in the top photo is holding the actual Bible we provided for him, the “scripture of truth” that led him to the Lord Jesus. Gospel Truth Jail Ministry has now used up all the Bibles we sent them last year, giving them to inmates like Phillip, and have just reached out asking if we can supply them with 500 more. We sure can, but it will cost $2,207.20 to do it, and that’s where we need your help. Come help us!!

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Emmanuel Macron Has Incredibly Just Emerged As The Major Player In Trump’s New Iran ‘Peace Deal’ Memorandum

Donald Trump’s Iran Peace Deal Signed At Versailles Under Emmanuel Macron’s Watch Is One Of The Most Stunning Prophecy Headlines Yet

President Donald Trump has signed an Iran ‘Peace Deal’ Memorandum Of Understanding at the Palace of Versailles, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, the man I believe may very well be the biblical man of sin. And he did it in the exact same palace where Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 surrendering to the Allies, one of the most consequential peace documents of the modern age. You can’t make this stuff up. Christian, when you see Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, Iran, peace, nuclear negotiations, the Middle East, Israel, global leaders, and the Palace of Versailles all coming together in one breathtaking prophetic tableau, you had better be paying attention. Very close attention.

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, for years now, we have watched Emmanuel Macron move across the world stage with the kind of globalist ambition, European authority, Roman-flavored symbolism, and diplomatic reach that grabbed our attention way back in 2017. Macron is not just another European politician. He has repeatedly positioned himself as a mediator, a unifier, a voice for Europe, and a bridge between competing world powers. And now, he just hosted Donald Trump at Versailles as Trump signed an Iran ‘peace memorandum’, whatever that actually means. Donald Trump is not the Antichrist. He does not fit the biblical profile. But Trump has been deeply connected to Middle East peace architecture since the Abraham Accords. Those accords remain, in my view, one of the most prophetically significant developments of the modern era. They may not be Daniel 9:27 in completed form, but they absolutely could be part of the platform that the Antichrist later confirms. Iran has been one of the central prophetic and geopolitical pressure points in the Middle East. A deal involving Iran, nuclear negotiations, economic relief, global shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, and broader regional peace is not just political news, it is prophecy come to life. Today we will attempt to plumb the depths of the man that is Emmanuel Macron, our #1 candidate for the biblical man of sin.

The Normally Pro-Trump Sky News Australia Blasts The Iran Peace Deal Calling It “A Tragic And Expensive Waste Of Time” As The President Returns In Failure

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Trump’s Iran War Was Supposed To Show Strength But It Ended With Dead Soldiers, Dead Children, A Surviving Regime, And A ‘Paper Peace’ No One Can Explain

There it is, Donald Trump’s war with Iran has ended, but not with victory, regime change, the destruction of Iran’s wicked influence in the Middle East, or some grand masterstroke of “peace through strength,” but with a bewildering memorandum of understanding that leaves the Iranian regime standing, breathing, boasting, and preparing for whatever comes next. Trump’s Iran war should sober up every Christian who still believes that political power can save a collapsing world. It absolutely cannot. The old world system is not being restored. It is being prepared. Prepared for the revealing of the man of sin.

“Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.” Jeremiah 7:8 (KJB)

Iran is no innocent victim, the Iranian regime is wicked. It hates Israel, exports terror, persecutes its own people, arms proxies, and dreams of dominance in the region. But acknowledging Iran’s wickedness does not require pretending that every American military adventure is wisdom from above. Two things can be true at the same time: Tehran is evil, and Trump’s Iran war was a disastrous mistake. According to Sky’s Mark Stone, the White House announced that Trump had signed a memorandum aimed at ending the war with Iran, Iran’s foreign minister confirmed Tehran had signed it as well, and yet the whole thing was wrapped in confusion, contradictory timing, remote signatures, Versailles theatrics, and another expected signing still to come. That is not statesmanship, that’s diplomatic vaudeville with piles of dead bodies in the background.

Trump’s signing of the Iran Peace Deal is a slap in the face to the memory of the 13 United States soldiers who gave their lives in the war he started

The most haunting line in the Sky News analysis is this: “So many school children died in Minab. For what?” Sky reports that Trump still would not admit the strike was America’s mistake, while Stone says sources told him that it was. That cuts through all the campaign slogans, all the phony tough-guy branding, all the red MAGA hats, all the applause lines, and all the cable-news spin. Children died, teachers died, and families were shattered. And for what? A paper agreement that does not end Iran’s malign influence, does not make America great again, and does not appear to have solved the thing the war was supposedly fought over.

For years, conservative Christians were told that Trump was the master negotiator, the consumate dealmaker, the man who alone could command the world stage. But this Iran episode reveals something far more sobering: the world stage is not a boardroom, the Middle East is not a casino development, and the enemies of Israel and the West are not impressed by branding. You do not bomb your way into clarity, stumble your way into a memorandum, and then call the rubble you created “peace.”

This is why NTEB has always warned you against confusing politics with prophecy and politicians with deliverers. For the past 17 years, we have been giving you the headlines through the filter of the King James Bible, but we never confuse the two. God is not working through the Republican Party to ‘bring in the kingdom’. God is not waiting for a MAGA foreign policy to fulfill His promises to Israel. Israel would absolutely still exist without Donald Trump, no matter how many times Trump says the opposite. God is not dependent on Trump, Macron, Netanyahu, the G7, NATO, the UN, or the Department of War. The Lord has His own calendar, His own covenants, His own prophetic program, and His own King coming back to rule and reign. Until then, the nations will continue doing what the nations do: wars, rumours of wars, making deals, breaking promises, burying victims, and calling it progress.
